POLES'WAR WITH RUSSIA HALTED
*
Truce Starts With Conference at Baranovitchi Looking To Establishment of Peace.
BOUNDARY LINE IS SET!
United States Sees Danger In Russia's! Proposal For Conference With Al- i
I
lies In London�Lithuania Delivers Ultimatum.
Warsaw�The Lltuanian government has delivered an ultimatum to the soviet government demanding the immediate evacuation of Lithuanian territory by Red troops.
Warsaw�A representative of the; foreign office has left for the front.j He will accompany the military com-i mander, who are to meet the Soviet; representatives to arrange for a con-j ference for a discussion of the Polish! armistice proposals which Russia has! accepted in principle.
The conference Will begin at Baranovitchi, 85 miles southwest of Minsk, ond the armistice will start July 30, the Associated Press learned.
The Lloyd George boundary line will hold in the north, and the actual military line in the south on July 30 will be observed.
The so-called Lloyd George boundary line of Poland runs on almost a straight line north and south from slightly west of Grodno past Brest-Lit-ovsk to the Galician line. It is approximately 115 miles east of Warsaw at its nearest point.
Washington Sees Danger.
Washington�Russia's proposal for a conference with the Allies in London -was regarded unofficially here as a skillful maneuver to effect a quasi recognition of the Soviet regime. Officially the State department was without knowledge of the Soviet suggestion, but it was clear that unless some more urgent reason than is apparent is given, the United States will be in no haste to accept an invitation to join in such a conference, even though one were extended.
Invitation Is Expected.
It was assumed here that the United States would be asked to participate, but there is now no indication that it will dispatch official representatives. The prevailing opinion appears to be that the specific issue�the cessation of war with Poland�might better be considered first by the principals.
Although the United States probably will not be represented in this conference, the situation is expected to change the policy of �hands off,� which it has maintained relative to European affairs since the Versailles treaty became a subject of portracted discussion in the Senate.
MORE MONEY FOR RAILROADS
One Hundred Millions Shown As Deficit For One Month.
Washington�The larger, or class one, railroads reported to the Interstate Commerce commission a deficit of $25,881,485 in railway operating income for April. The government�s guarantee to the railroads which runs until September 1 amounts to approximately $75,000,000 a month and the April deficit makes a loss of more than $100,000,000 to the government for the month. Eastern and Western roads reported deficits, the former showing $20,848,079 for the month and the latter $6,508,404. Southern carriers reported a profit of $1,474,634.
MANNIX BARRED BY BRITISH
Australian Archbishop Will Not Be Allowed To Land.
London�Archbishop Daniel J. Man-nix of Melbourne, Australia, will not be allowed to land in England because of his recent utterances, Premier Lloyd George announced in the House; of Commons.
Sir Hammar Greenwood, chief secretary for Ireland, declared in the House; of Commons that the troops and po-; lice had shown the sternest impar-j tiality in Ireland and that the presence! of the troops and warships had saved; Belfast from a possible massacre of; thousands and north Ireland from a| devastating civil war.
MANY SUFFER IN MANILA!^
Manila, P. I.�Thousands were ren j dered homeless by a typhoon which,! acompanied by. torrential rains, swept! the island of Luzon during the past; two weeks, causing tremendous dam-! age. A dike of the Tarlac river. Cen-i tral Luzon, was broken, flooding thou-; -sands of acres of rice and sugar lands! and carrying off hundreds of small! houses. Loss of life was reported! small.
French Troops Take Damascus.
Paris�French- troops under command of General Gouraud entered Damascus, seat of Emir Feisal�s government, it has been learned. A spirited battle occured on the outskirts of the town. Gouraud�s troops entered and stationed themselves in the foreign quarter. French troops had already occupied Aleppo, and thus are In complete control of the railroad > I front Damascus to Cilicia. The for-sign office has announced that Emil1 Feisal has fled the hills.

Henry Hugger, the child�s father, is a carpenter employed on the new court house, and has been a resident of this city for the past two or three years.
The current at this point is slow, but the water is so muddy as to make the task of locating the body one of extreme difficulty.
This tragic incident calls attention once more to the vital need of establishment of a safe swimming beach somewhere along the Mississippi where the children of the city may enjoy the sport of all sports without risking their lives. It calls attention once again also to the handicap the St. Cloud police are working under �when emergencies of this kind arise without provision of a fast power boat, or even an Evenrude, to bring them quickly to the scene of whter tragedy.

POLES'WAR WITH RUSSIA HALTED
*
Truce Starts With Conference at Baranovitchi Looking To Establishment of Peace.
BOUNDARY LINE IS SET!
United States Sees Danger In Russia's! Proposal For Conference With Al- i
I
lies In London�Lithuania Delivers Ultimatum.
Warsaw�The Lltuanian government has delivered an ultimatum to the soviet government demanding the immediate evacuation of Lithuanian territory by Red troops.
Warsaw�A representative of the; foreign office has left for the front.j He will accompany the military com-i mander, who are to meet the Soviet; representatives to arrange for a con-j ference for a discussion of the Polish! armistice proposals which Russia has! accepted in principle.
The conference Will begin at Baranovitchi, 85 miles southwest of Minsk, ond the armistice will start July 30, the Associated Press learned.
The Lloyd George boundary line will hold in the north, and the actual military line in the south on July 30 will be observed.
The so-called Lloyd George boundary line of Poland runs on almost a straight line north and south from slightly west of Grodno past Brest-Lit-ovsk to the Galician line. It is approximately 115 miles east of Warsaw at its nearest point.
Washington Sees Danger.
Washington�Russia's proposal for a conference with the Allies in London -was regarded unofficially here as a skillful maneuver to effect a quasi recognition of the Soviet regime. Officially the State department was without knowledge of the Soviet suggestion, but it was clear that unless some more urgent reason than is apparent is given, the United States will be in no haste to accept an invitation to join in such a conference, even though one were extended.
Invitation Is Expected.
It was assumed here that the United States would be asked to participate, but there is now no indication that it will dispatch official representatives. The prevailing opinion appears to be that the specific issue�the cessation of war with Poland�might better be considered first by the principals.
Although the United States probably will not be represented in this conference, the situation is expected to change the policy of �hands off,� which it has maintained relative to European affairs since the Versailles treaty became a subject of portracted discussion in the Senate.
MORE MONEY FOR RAILROADS
One Hundred Millions Shown As Deficit For One Month.
Washington�The larger, or class one, railroads reported to the Interstate Commerce commission a deficit of $25,881,485 in railway operating income for April. The government�s guarantee to the railroads which runs until September 1 amounts to approximately $75,000,000 a month and the April deficit makes a loss of more than $100,000,000 to the government for the month. Eastern and Western roads reported deficits, the former showing $20,848,079 for the month and the latter $6,508,404. Southern carriers reported a profit of $1,474,634.
